Accessible Hotel Room in Brazil: Portuguese Questions to Ask Before Booking
Ask a hotel about the actual room and route, then confirm the details in writing before you book.

The short answer
Quarto acessível means accessible room. Ask whether the route from the entrance to the room is step-free and whether an elevator serves that floor. A hotel’s label alone may not answer the questions that matter for your stay.
Ask about the room and route
Ask about the specific room type and request a description or photos if helpful. The hotel can confirm current room details directly.
Vocês têm um quarto acessível disponível nessas datas?
Do you have an accessible room available on those dates?
O caminho até o quarto tem degraus?
Does the route to the room have steps?
Check bathroom features
Banheiro means bathroom, box is the shower enclosure, and barras de apoio means grab bars. Ask about the features you need, such as a roll-in shower, a shower chair, or the position of support bars. Do not assume two rooms with the same label have identical layouts.
If a measurement matters, ask the hotel to verify it for the specific room rather than relying on a general description.
O banheiro tem barras de apoio?
Does the bathroom have grab bars?
O box do chuveiro tem entrada sem degraus?
Does the shower enclosure have a step-free entrance?
Confirm the booking details
Repeat the room type, dates, and the features the hotel confirmed. Ask whether the details can be included in your reservation notes or sent by email.
A clear written confirmation gives you a record of the room description you discussed. Contact the hotel directly if you need to verify anything before arrival.
Você pode confirmar esses detalhes por e-mail?
Could you confirm these details by email?
Essa confirmação se refere ao quarto que reservei?
Does this confirmation refer to the room I booked?
